Melvin Ladousier: Sun-Star should concentrate on news, not opinion

Re: “Justices divided on plan to let immigrants stay” (Front page, April 19): The Supreme Court has not issued its finding on the immigration case yet. The media must stop making news out of speculation – especially when public opinion has no influence on the outcome. There are more than ample stories on current events and proceedings which public opinions do influence outcomes to fill the pages of your paper. Report current events, not speculation intended to create division over issues beyond the influence or control of your readers.

Melvin Ladousier, Merced
